[This is Markdown format; README.html is auto-generated from this file.] The CSPIM MIPS simulator ======================== More details about this project can be found [here.](http://zvrba.net/software/cspim.html) Detailed description of CSPIM internals as well as the motivation and possible use cases can be found in the following publication: Vrba, Z.; Halvorsen, P.; Griwodz, C., "Program obfuscation by strong cryptography" The International Dependability Conference, 2010. ARES '10. International Conference on, 15-18 February, 2010. [DOI:10.1109/ARES.2010.47](http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/ARES.2010.47) Copies of the paper are available on explicit request by email.

Project structure ================= The top-level directory contains the following subdirectories: * bmips: precompiled programs for MIPS I; directly runnable by CSPIM * hostapps: host utilities [the interpreter itself] * mipsapps: source fof programs runnable by CSPIM; precompiled in `bmips` * vm: core simulator: MIPS instruction set and ELF loader How to build ============ This package has been developed and tested with Solaris cc, gcc and Visual Studio 2008. Prerequisites for building: - Working native compiler. Solaris cc, gcc and Visual Studio 2008 have been tested. - Working cross-compiler which can generate little-endian MIPS I ELF executables. gcc 4.2.4 and binutils 2.22 have been tested. - [CMake](http://www.cmake.org) The interpreter is built by executing cmake . make This will build host applicactions in `hostapps` and MIPS applications in `mipsapps`. (Files in `bmips` directory are for reference only and are not overwritten.) Host applications ----------------- The following applications are built in `hostapps`: * `runtorture`: use to run the MIPS torture test * `run`: use to run (possibly encrypted) MIPS executables * `runbench`: use to run the MIPS benchmarks * `elfcrpyt`: use to encrypt MIPS ELF executables `sstep`, `hanoi-bench-native`, `mmult-bench-native` are benchmarking applications; see the above paper for details. The "run" programs take as parameter a MIPS ELF executable; an example invocation is ./hostapps/run ./mipsapps/hanoi `runtorture` should only be used to run the `cputorture` program. MIPS CPU torture test --------------------- Torture test assembly source is generated by preprocessing the `*.sm4` files with M4: m4 cputorture.sm4 > cputorture.s The pregenerated source is already provided in the distribution. The test is run by executing ./hostapps/runtorture ./mipsapps/cputorture If the test is successfully passed, the last lines of the output will be something like (note the `(near SUCCESS)` in the last line): finished: exception=5, code=0x0, last_branch=0x2e74(near t_link) ***MIPS@0xb7c6b008*** BASE=200000@0xb7c6b008 BRK=00003fd0 STKSZ=00004000 R00=00000000 R01=00000000 R02=00000000 R03=0000000c R04=00000001 R05=00005678 R06=00005678 R07=00001234 R08=00001234 R09=0000e7f8 R10=0000e7f8 R11=0000c5d6 R12=0000c5d6 R13=12345678 R14=12345678 R15=c5d6e7f8 R16=c5d6e7f8 R17=56787800 R18=56787800 R19=12345678 R20=12345678 R21=00001234 R22=ffffe7f8 R23=00000000 R24=90000000 R25=f0000000 R26=00003fc0 R27=00003fc4 R28=00003fc0 R29=00003fc4 R30=00003fc8 R31=00002fa0 HI =12345678 LO =9abcdef0 PC =00002fb0 DS =00000000 (near SUCCESS) If the execution stops at a label name other than `SUCCESS` in the last line, something has gone wrong and the preceding output can be determined to find out what. MIPS applications ----------------- Many of the other example problems are are solved assignments (in C) from Appendix of the third edition of Hennessy & Patterson, Computer Organization and Design: The Hardware/Software Interface; available at. This appendix is also available online [here.](http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~larus/HP_AppA.pdf) These programs should be executed with `./hostapps/run program`. Encrypted execution ------------------- All LOAD ELF segments of executables can be encrypted with RC-5 encryption algorithm using 32-bit block size and 128-bit key. The encryption uses ECB mode, which should *not be used for anything but simple demos*! Example session: ./hostapps/elfcrypt mipsapps/hanoi /tmp/hanoi-crypt 0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF ./hostapps/run /tmp/hanoi-crypt 0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF Failing to provide the key in the last command will terminate execution with exception 3 (invalid instruction). Self-simulation --------------- Compile both HOSTED and non-HOSTED build (configure this by using `ccmake`). This must be done in two separate build directories; note that cmake supports builds in directories other than the source directory (so-called "out-of-source build"). This builds an extra executable, `./mipsapps/run-lvl1`, which should be run with `./hostapps/load-lvl1`. `./run-lvl1` can currently only run cputorture, since the nested simulation does not yet forward system calls to the outer simulation. NOTE: You need to remove all files previously generated by CMake for out-of-source build to work. Suppose that the hosted interpreter has been built in the `./HH` directory, and the non-hosted in the `./NH` directory. Then the CPU torture test can be run in the nested simulation with the following command: ./HH/hostapps/load-lvl1 ./NH/mipsapps/run-lvl1 ./NH/mipsapps/cputorture Building cross-gcc ------------------ Note that gcc 4.2.x is the highest gcc version that doesn't require GMP, MPFR and MPC libraries, which significantly eases installation. 1. Download and build binutils (tested with version 2.22). Configure and build as: `./configure --prefix=$HOME --disable-debug --disable-nls --target=mipsel-elf` `make install` 2. Download and build gcc; it MUST NOT be built in the source dir (hence ../). Make sure that the installed binutils (mipsel-elf-as etc.) are in PATH. `../gcc-4.2.4/configure --prefix=$HOME --disable-debug --disable-nls --target=mipsel-elf --disable-bootstrap --disable-libssp` `make install`
